Mack Allen Tyler Jr.

Mack was born on September 2nd, 1943, and grew up in Humble, Texas. Mack played football at Humble High School and then at Sam Houston State University, where he was part of the 1964 Championship team. He was drafted into the Army soon after and served at Fort Greely, Alaska.

After the Army, Mack and his wife Judy had a chance meeting at a Dairy Queen, which led to a wonderful courtship. They spent their weekends dancing all night and lounging at the beach, which then led to a wedding in August of 1971. Mack and Judy Kay (Heck) welcomed Mack Allen Tyler III into the world on August 10, 1978.

Mack and Judy both loved football and each other immensely! It was a match made in heaven. His kindness and compassion were boundless, and he was larger than life. He made friends with strangers while waiting in lines, and was loved by everyone he met, especially his “bestie,” granddaughter Zoey Tyler.

Mack is preceded in death by his amazing wife Judy Kay Tyler. He is survived by his son, Mack Allen Tyler III (partner Rachel Gross), granddaughter Zoey Tyler, and his sisters Judy Hooper (spouse Tommy Hooper) and Sherry Hodgeson.

In lieu of a service, the family is planning a celebration of Mack’s life at a later time for his close friends and family.
